Nigerian singer Yemi Alade has candidly shared her feelings about the mounting pressure from family and friends urging her to get married. In a recent interview with Cool FM, the artist expressed her sentiments on the matter.
Dismissing rumors of her marriage to her manager, Alade emphasized that she is not succumbing to the societal pressure to marry and have children. She conveyed a calm approach, stating that when the right time comes, it will naturally happen.
Alade acknowledged the challenge of resisting family pressure, given that it comes from people she respects and looks up to. She emphasized the importance of finding the right partner over rushing into marriage, asserting that those who genuinely care about her best interests would be patient with her in this regard.
In her words, “Family pressure is a challenging thing to resist because it’s coming from the people I respect and look up to, insisting that I should get married. However, I believe that if they genuinely have my best interests at heart, they will be patient with me because finding the right partner is more crucial than just getting married. But beyond that, I don’t think anyone should rush into making the wrong decision of being with the wrong partner.”
